After decades away from the theatre, Gary Oldman is to return to the Yorkshire playhouse where he once starred as a pantomime cat. The Oscar winner, who is currently back on TV screens in Slow Horses, will perform Samuel Beckett’s monologue Krapp’s Last Tape at York Theatre Royal next spring.

It is a long-awaited return to the stage for the star, who started his acting career performing in York and with Glasgow’s Citizens theatre before moving on to London’s Royal Court and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
